LaBeouf escapes drunken driving charge

New York, Sep 26 (IANS) Shia LaBeouf, the “Transformers” star, will not be charged with drunken driving because of lack of evidence against him. TMZ.com reports that the Los Angeles County District Attorney rejected the case on grounds of insufficient evidence. The actor was involved in a car accident and was arrested July 27.

LeBeouf will get off relatively easy, but will have his licence suspended for six to nine months because he refused a blood-alcohol test.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore said the actor’s hearing is scheduled soon.
